Ha I love that song!! And you deserve a HUGE congrats! That is a major accomplishment for sure.I do my first round of edits right after the first draft and tighten sentences, prose, dialog, and fix punctuation. Then I send off to CPs and set it aside for awhile. Once I have CP comments I go in and fix according to suggestions, usually with a chapter by chapter edit before reading the story again as a whole. Of course, I always find more to fix. Then, I send it to another CP for feedback on all the edits. After that's done and I've set the story aside for a few weeks, I revise with new CP feedback. Then wait again for a week or so. I send the story to my Kindle and read it as I would a brand new story. It gives me a fresh perspective and I always find a plot hole or two to fix. I try to read a different book or two before reading mine on Kindle so I can have that fresh reader eye. It's such a long process, but worth it in the end.Best of luck on your continued revisions! :)

About Angie

I LOVE books of all kinds and in just the last few years I've discovered I also LOVE to write. I'm currently working on creating a compelling story: a little romance,a little betrayal, a well placed twist, and if a few people die-well it was bound to happen :)
